Storage Account
A container that groups Azure Storage services — blobs, files, queues, and tables — under one namespace.
An Azure Storage account is the top-level resource grouping four storage services — Blob Storage, Azure Files, Queue Storage, and Table Storage — under a single unique namespace. Every piece of data in Azure Storage must live inside an account, and settings such as access tier and network rules apply across its services. A common exam trap is treating Blob Storage and a storage account as the same thing; they are not — the account holds Blob Storage among others. Redundancy options like LRS, ZRS, and GRS are set at the account level, a key choice for durability and availability.
